Tiffany Stratton, who became the WWE Women’s Champion by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract one year ago, has acknowledged the anniversary of her victory. The WWE star marked this occasion on social media, noting the date’s significance in her career and using the moment to highlight her achievements.
On January 3, 2025, during an episode of SmackDown, Stratton assisted fellow wrestler Jax in defending her title against Naomi, only to betray Jax and Candice LeRae later in the night. Taking advantage of the chaos, Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on Jax, claiming the WWE Women’s Championship for herself. This marked a pivotal point in Stratton’s wrestling journey, as she went on to successfully defend her title against several prominent competitors.
Her reign included high-profile defenses, notably a championship match against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 41. After a resilient run as champion, Stratton eventually lost the title to Jade Cargill during the November 1 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, ending her impressive period at the top of the women’s division.
Stratton Calls for Official Recognition of Her Milestone
On Instagram, Stratton revisited her memorable cash-in, expressing pride in both the victory and the date itself. She proposed the idea of making January 3rd a special day, further underlining the personal significance of her win.
“1 year since I cashed in and became champion. January 3rd should be a national holiday,”

“I look at every positive and negative that has happened in my career, and I try to learn from [them], try to grow from [them]. And I think I have since then. [I] took it as a stepping stone to grow and learn… I think [we put aside personal feelings the same] way any person would at a job. I’ve never doubted her or me being professional… [The task is to] put on the best show that you can on the ‘Grandest Stage of Them All.’”
